How to use the audio pitch shifter

This free online pitch shifter changes how high or low an audio file sounds without speeding it up or slowing it down. It is useful for transposing vocals, testing a song in a different key, or creating a chipmunk or deep-voice effect.

  1. Upload your audioChoose a file. It decodes in your browser and its waveform is drawn to a canvas.
  2. Choose a shift amountDrag the slider from -12 to +12 semitones, then press Apply pitch shift.
  3. Preview and downloadListen to the shifted result, then download it as a WAV file.

How does pitch shifting without changing tempo work?

Simply speeding up or slowing down playback changes both pitch and tempo together, like a record player running at the wrong speed. To change only the pitch, this tool uses a lightweight granular synthesis technique that resamples small overlapping fragments of audio and blends them back together.

Overlapping grains

The audio is broken into thousands of small overlapping windows called grains, each about a tenth of a second long.

Per-grain resampling

Each grain is individually resampled at your chosen pitch ratio, which shifts its pitch while keeping its position in time fixed.

Windowed overlap-add

A smooth Hann window fades every grain in and out, and overlapping grains are summed and normalized to rebuild a continuous waveform.

Same duration, new pitch

Because each grain stays anchored to its original time position, the total length and rhythm of the audio are unaffected by the shift.

Pitch shifter FAQ

Does pitch shifting change the length of my audio?

No. This tool keeps the original duration and tempo. Only the pitch moves up or down by the number of semitones you choose.

How does the pitch shift actually work?

It uses a granular synthesis technique: the audio is split into many small overlapping grains, each one is resampled to shift its pitch, and the grains are blended back together with windowed overlap-add so the total length is unchanged.

Will the result sound perfectly clean?

For small shifts of a few semitones the result is usually smooth. Larger shifts, especially beyond an octave, can introduce a slightly grainy or metallic character, which is a normal trade-off of lightweight granular pitch shifting.

What audio formats can I upload?

Any format your browser can decode, including MP3, WAV, M4A and OGG. The processed result is exported as a WAV file.

Is my audio uploaded to a server?

No. Decoding, pitch shifting and WAV encoding all happen locally in your browser using the Web Audio API. Your file never leaves your device.
